** Dr. Bliss' entire character is extremely heartwarming - she's the kind of person a troubled person like Helga really needs in her life, a genuinely good person who became a child psychologist because she wants to help kids. Having barely seen Helga for barely a day, she cares more about Helga than people who have known her for her entire life, and gets her to open up not necessarily by wheedling her but by encouraging her to be better. It's telling that when Helga first walks into her session, she's bitter and combative, but then by the end she doesn't want to go, promises to come back for another session and even runs back to give the doc a big hug.
